About the artists:
Brooklyn’s Public Speaking is the soulful noise project of sound artist and songwriter Jason Anthony Harris. Live, he uses voice, found objects, radio, synth, and tape recorder, poring over pedals to loop, warp and augment these sources.
Taylor Conrad is an experimental musician from Portsmouth, Ohio. Mainly playing guitar and keys, he frequently collaborates with local musicians Troy Kunkler (percussion) and Caleb Miller (saxophone).
Caleb Miller is a keyboardist, saxophonist, composer and educator currently residing in Columbus, OH. His work mostly focuses on midwestern perspectives surrounding improvisational-based music and projects. In addition to his personally lead projects (Gault, pincer, Here Here & solo work) Caleb plays, writes and subs in many jazz-adjacent projects (Sun Trash, Yumbambe, Radarhill, Ryan Jewell Quintet, Troy Kunkler 4tet), songs-oriented groups (Zack Kouns and His Insatiable Orchestra, Confusions, Francis Bacon Band, Taylor K Conrad, Keating, Fables), contemporary classical settings (dance accompanist, classical pianist) and other settings (solo work, audio work, Very Much Recordings, music videos, album artwork, improvising/ creative ensembles). As output he is most interested in productions that show a true synthesis of perspectives, sounds, individuals and communities. Music and projects that truly strive for some form of “newness” regardless of the setting, people or situation. Simply stated things that try to be “their own” in some way or another. Caleb also currently operates the Columbus-based recording label Very Much Recordings and teaches in the American public (!) school system.
11 St Clair is the ambient electronic work of Columbus Ohio guitarist David Ellinwood.
